Description
Apollo 16 Lunar Module Flown Lunar Orbital Map Number 17 from the collection of Lunar Module Pilot Charles M. Duke, Jr., 7.5" x 10.5". This map was used by the Apollo 16 crew during their lunar orbits prior to landing on the Descartes Highlands. This map segment was part of a larger map which covered the front face of the moon. It shows an area east of their landing site that included part of the Sea of Nectar and the Crater Isidorus. The map remained in the Lunar Module Orion during their stay on the lunar surface, and was exposed to the lunar vacuum during their three Extra Vehicular Activities. It was transferred back to the Command Module Casper for the return journey to Earth. From the collection of Charles M. Duke, Jr., who has included a handwritten and signed Letter of Certification verifying its provenance.Auction Info
